Chapter 2: First Page REVEALED ~~~ Dragons NestPreview of Last Chapter:
"~~Can
you see the dragons?
I am begging for the full moon to rise
Is your heart drowned in misery?
My feelings need to be understood
Why can't you hear the girl?
Because she is only figment of your imagination~~"
'Didn't I just hear this moments ago?' she tried to asked herself. But she was interrupted when a warm hand came contact with her cheeks. She look up to it and to her surprise the man take the opportunity to kiss her . . .
"Now, do you still think I'm just a dream?" the husky voice said but another voice interrupted. "Now tell me what you think? To complete the pages you must answer me."
~~~End of Preview~~~
After those words hang in the air, immediately everything turns back to normal like nothing happened. Syaoran was walking ahead of her and there she was standing still like a fool. "What had just happened awhile ago?" her fingers trailed to her lips. Did Syaoran actually kissed her? She blushed as soon as those thoughts landed on her mind. There's no possible way he'll do that, but yet it felt so good. And who was that other man?
But who cares about that man? Syaoran kissed her and that's more likable to think about! Her lips curved into a smile but then soon vanish when a scowling Syaoran came to her.
"Do you intend to stay here all day?" he asked fully waking Sakura to her reverie. She looked up to his sulking face and her smile subsides.
"We better reach Ryuten Village before sun fall. So reserve your daydreaming later when we already have a place to sleep." He said, and starts on walking again. So much for thinking he'll kiss me! What did hit me to have thought of something like that? It was all some sort of illusion! So what if the 'kiss' wasn't' real?!
She looked up into the sky. It was nearly time to sun set. They have been walking for quite awhile now but never seem to stop. She kept quiet the whole walking; she can't just leave the thought behind. She sighed, she better stop thinking about that or she'll end up loosing her mind. After all there are other things to think about like how could she go back to her 'world' and about those things the man said . . .
"We're finally here" he simply said not bothering to look back at her. The street lamps were on. Only few people were outside and each was now returning to their own houses. Syaoran look around the whole place. There's definitely something wrong here. He could only see few people outside and most were old people and that's not all, they were staring at them! But each time he'll look back they we'll try to look somewhere else. "Just stay close to me" he whispered back to Sakura earning a nod. He holds her hand and try heading to the inn.
When they got inside, it wasn't crowded at all like what inns should be. He frowned when he notice all eyes were again focus to them. Heck! They have been staring at them since they entered the village! He felt Sakura's hand tightened its grip on his hand. He tries to assure her by holding her hand tighter as possible.
He then decided to talk to the innkeeper who was an old man sitting on the counter. "Is there any available rooms? Were staying for a night" the old man looked at him and turns to Sakura who was hiding in Syaoran's back. They stood there for a moment until Syaoran cleared his throat to stop the staring. "Excuse my manners sir, there's only one room left" the old man said still eyeing Sakura. "That'll do" he answered back averting his gaze from the girl. The old man led them to their room and leave.
After the man had leave they both sighed. "What's wrong with this place?" she asked sitting on the bed. "I don't know. But something is wrong for sure."
They heard a knock on the door and Syaoran open it. Outside stand three old men with white beards. "Could we have a talk with you and this fine young lady outside?" Syaoran looked at them for a split second and motioned Sakura to come.
Outside was a large bonfire and people around it serving them foods, drinks and seats. When did they have the time to do this? They followed the three old men and seated in front of them near the bonfire. One by one people rushed to them giving them foods, gold, money, and many things for something like an offering. But why?. "We would want to get this straight. But let me introduce myself first. I am Rujin the mayor of this village. I'm talking on behalf of all the people in this village. We are asking for your help!" he blunted earning a meticulous look from Syaoran.
"And what help would that be?" Syaoran asked, knowing this'll be something serious and not mention complicated. But on the other hand just looking at there faces already convinced Sakura. "You probably noticed that there's no young lady in here? All young girls were brought to the 'Dragon's nest' to be a sacrifice. Ever since a dragon attacked our village, chaos roamed the whole village! All that blocked its way were burned! We tried to stop it but didn't succeed. But surprisingly one day that dragon ascends from the sky and turns itself to a man. And ordered us to bring young girls to it's nest or else he would destroy the village. Anyone who enters the village would no longer come out and that goes to us and both of you too!" he looked down and sighed, looking at the dried soil. "We're sorry to bring you two in such trouble. But please help us." He looked at Sakura with pleading eyes and so are the people.
"So what are you implying here? That Sakura will be a sacrifice!?" exclaimed Syaoran causing people to look down knowing that their hope was taken back. "She wouldn't do it!" he stated. Sakura looked at him with shocked eyes. She didn't know if she's going to be happy about this or if not. Was he concern about her? Or was he just saying this because I'm one of the suppose-to-be-girl-in-the-prophecy. "I'll go then." She interrupted coolly. Syaoran gave her a death glare while the people surround them and looked at her with grateful eyes.
"What do you mean your going!? Don't you know the risk!? Were you that stupid!?" he blunted. He stood in there anger building up to him, but was it really anger? How about concern? Now where did that come from? " How could you be so selfish!? These people need help!" she said also standing up matching up with his stare. "Fine! Like I care! Do what you want! Just remember this you have a task to do too!" he shouted back and then leaves.
"Never mind him. Tell me what I'm supposed to do.," she said smiling at them. How could he be so selfish! She repeated over and over on her mind. "Are you sure? We can't guarantee your safety."
"It's quite alright. So when do we start?"
"Tomorrow we'll have the preparations for you. We need to dress you up and then a carriage will bring you there. It'll be full moon tomorrow and that's when Ryu gets weak or should I say the time he needs girls and become violent than ever, that's why he needed girls. We don't know why he wanted girls. He just said he would only stop destroying the village when we had given him a girl that he'll be satisfied with. So that's it for now. Please do rest and prepare for tomorrow."
She nodded weakly and entered their room again. Syaoran isn't there. Where could he be? She went to the bed and covered herself with the blankets. 'Why was he so cold? I'm totally clueless about what's happening. Is he the Syaoran I know? The one who helped me through my card capturing days? The one I fell in love with?. . . . The one who leaved me behind without a trace? Why? Why Syaoran? You told me you love me and I already told you I do too. But why did you left me without even saying goodbye? Why?' Soon she was welcomed by her sleep. Not noticing the amber eyed man staring at her from a tree outside the window. 'Do I really have to keep this as a secret to her? I can't bear it anymore. I don't want those tears to fall because of me. But she shouldn't know and that is for the good. '
(A.N.: Yes, yes, the whole series happened including the movie 1 and 2)
~~~~~~~~NEXT DAY~~~~~~~
"Are you really sure about this?" Rujin asked, holding Sakura's hand tightly. "Yes Rujin-san! I promise I'll come back and your village will be safe!" he smiled at her. What a kind heart she has? She was so pure like an angel sent from heaven.
"Have you seen Syaoran?"
"The man your with? I haven't seen him since last night."
"Oh~~"
"Are you ready now Sakura?" an old woman asked her. She nodded and enters the carriage. She was wearing a red robe, her name embroidered in the side of the robe tie.(Sorry not good in describing dress!) With or without Syaoran she's going, luckily her cards are with her. At least she had something to protect her.
It was already dark when they arrived. The two men who brought her there began to leave. She looked at the cave and gulped. "I sure hope I know where I'm going into." She started to walk inside and halfway in she heard growling noise. She stops for a moment to hear clearer. There weren't just growling now. She could now hear thrusting of swords!? But who could be in there? Sakura hurried inside, the scene stopped her.
"SYAORAN!" She yelled. Trying to get near him. Why was he here anyway? He said he didn't care---but could he?
"Don't come any closer!" He shouted back. She looked up to see his opponent and found none. A dragon is supposed to be here right? But where---
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelped, trying to get out of the grasp of this certain someone.
"So she's the sacrifice? Beautiful!" Sakura looked up to see the man with shiny gray hair and piercing blue eyes. "Hello there pretty! Sakura eh? Your name suits you well!" he said holding her hand, trying to caress her face. "I'm Ryu, and I think your perfect for me."
"DON"T TOUCH HER YOU LIZARD!"
"WHO YOU CALLING LIZARD!?"
"YOU! MORON!"
"How dare you call me moron? Me, the most handsome, smart--- Ahhhhhh…… words can't describe my beauty!"
"Beauty my ASS!!!" he exclaimed and advance to Ryu who was left off-guard. But before he could stab him, someone pushes him and they both fell to the ground.
On the floor was Ryu on top of a girl with brown hair. They stood up and looked at Syaoran.
"Ryu has done nothing wrong! So STOP hurting him!"
"Done nothing wrong!? That guy ha---"
"It wasn't his fault! By the way my name is Yuka. I'm one of the girls brought here. Ryu-san only needs a presence of young girl when it's going to be full moon. So that he won't change into an evil dragon."
"I still don't get it" Sakura said nearing them. Syaoran stares at her for a moment. He hadn't notice how beautiful she was tonight not that she was ugly before but she's even MORE beautiful this time! He dismissed his thought as he felt their gaze.
"Let me explained it more clearer. A man that I had met while walking pass here when I'm still normal just chanted a spell and I turn into an evil dragon. He said every young girl has an ability to turn me back to normal, but it won't last long, if its full moon I turn back to a dragon again and I need another young girl to transform me back again and only one girl can change me back permanently. And that is ugh--- who is that again?" Ryu asked, turning to see Yuka.
"**sigh** why do you always forget!? Well this girl mentioned on the book of Prophecy could break the spell when that happen he'll be having full control over him even when he is a dragon."
"You mean-----me?"
"You're the girl of the prophecy? WOW! Really? Then- Ryu-san could turn back to normal now!! All you have to do is hold his head and PRESTO!"
"Wait Yuka, tell us first what will happen to her if she did so."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about it! She'll be unconscious for awhile then wake up after an hour or so."
"But where are the other girls that had been brought here?" Syaoran asked still suspicious on the two.
"We're all here" Some girls walked up to them, each wearing delicate robes just like Sakura's. Syaoran eyed every one of them and turns his sword into a black orb once again.
"So why were you all still here? I thought you said after another full moon night Ryu will change back again and that he'll need another girl to do that again. So why bother staying here? Aren't you thinking of those people worried about all of you?" Syaoran said trying to finish this quickly, they do have something more important to do than staying here.
"We're still needed. The girl in the prophecy can't do it alone, all of us would join to. And I guess we better start it now because any minute Ryu we'll be transforming into the icky dragon he is." Yuka answered
"So how do we start?" Sakura asked joining the conversation again. "We all have to circle around him and try focusing on changing him back and that's it!"
"Are you really, really sure about this?" Syaoran butted in crossing his hand on his chest. They all sighed and simply ignored him and circle around Ryu.
"Finally!" Ryu exclaimed smiling at them. All girls now surround him and gusts of wind start to surround them. White mist hover around them. The edges of their robes were fluttering in the air stream.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Sakura's P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then again I felt the intensity growing into the air. My feet seem to detach itself from the ground. "It's been awhile now ne?"
"You again?"
"Yes, me again."
"Who are you anyway? The readers really want to know." (AN: Cancel that statement! Lolz! I'm just kidding)
"Who are you really?"
"Shouldn't you find that answer yourself?"
"Why do I get stuck up into these things anyway?"
"Oh my dear, time is moving. We must go on . . ."
Can
you see the dragons?
I am begging for the full moon to rise . . .
"Now here's mystery voice number two again!" she hissed not knowing where she really was. It was all black again just like when he ki---"
Is your heart drowned in misery?
My feelings need to be understood
. . .
She heard the rolling of sea waves, a faraway voice, a sound of deep husky voice. "Now do you still think I'm just a dream?" but the man faded unlike before.
Why can't you hear the girl?
She saw the book of prophecy opening its pages and a faint light was following the now appearing letters. Its glow makes it impossible to read. Soon it ends and everything now turns to a blinding light.
Because she is only figment of your imagination . . .
"Why can't I see myself? The real, old me? Is she just a part of my hallucination now? Is it because I'm no longer that girl everyone knew, the cheerful, card captor everyone adore? The one who dearly loves someone, who happened to disappear without a trace? And then out of the blue, found him, in a different kind of world where he never knew me? Is that why?"
